WHAT DO WE DO NOW- Chapter 5
Haley played the message over and over again in her head. His voice sound shaky, unsure of himself. Very un-Nathan-like. She debated back and forth whether or not she should call him back. No, she decided, that would only give him hope. Hope that she would move back to Tree Hill. Hope that they would get back together, when that either of those were definitely not options.
She told Lucas and Karen the truth. Luke was upset that she lied when he drove her home, but he couldn't stay mad at her. She had too much to deal with. They, besides her family, were the only people who new the real reason she left to live with her grandparents. She asked Lucas to tell Nathan that her parents forced her to go. Not true. She asked to go. She wanted to go where nobody knew who she was. All this was just too surreal for her.
Dating Nathan Scott had ruined her chance to go to the college of her dream. An Ivy School. She wasn't even going to a 4 school. She was taking a year and half off before going back, probably to a 2 year, and then she would transfer into a 4 year. She had didn't know what else to do. She knew she couldn't put the blame entirely on him, but he was partly his fault.
Laying on the bed, staring at the wall, her back to the door, she wondered what Nathan was doing at that exact moment. As her thoughts wondered more towards her ex-boyfriend, she found herself dialing his number. She didn't know what she would say to him or why she was calling. She did know that she definitely not telling him the truth. All she wanted to do was hear his voice just talk to him.
Nathan finally giving up that she would call closed his eyes. 'Just for a minute," he promised himself. No sooner did his eyes shut, the familiar tune of his cell phone went off. He immediately snapped his eyes open and reached for his phone.
"Hello, Haley?"
No one said anything
"Haley, that you? Please answer me."
Still no one answered.
Dial tone.
"Damn it!" he cursed as he hung up. He knew it was her. It had to be. He tried calling her back, but unfortunately she didn't pick up. He decided to leave another message:
"Hi Haley. I know that was you who just called me. Please, I need to talk you. I'm worried about you. Call me back, and when, if, you do, please actually say something. Hope to hear from you soon. Bye."
She chickened out. She panicked and suddenly she couldn't find her voice. She allowed the phone to slid out of her hand and onto the floor as she toppled back on her bed. Tears came to her eyes by she refused to cry, she had brought this whole situation upon herself.
